That's a tall plant, #1, and looks likely to be as you said, but I'm not great at distinguishing the karwinskiana/voburnensis subspecies.

As for the 2nd.....what a great plant, only solution is something like a dustbin lid!

....and a touch of weedkiller for the oxalis. I use a glyphosate solution, and just paint the top leaves with an art paint brush. Doesn't seem to affect the main plant, though I was worried about it leaching out of the dying plant, but its supposed to be rendered ineffective when it gets to soil.

Hi Chris,

Yes the oxalis can be difficult to eradicate. I have a large Notocactus magnifica with some oxalis in it but a different species - the bulbous kind. I have painted glyphosate on it at least 6 times and each time it disappears for a while only to pop up again later!
I know a member of the local CAS society here who sprays the weeds among his succulents with glyphosate - weeds, succulents and all - and told me the herbicide does not affect the plants as their waxy cuticle prevents any penetration. I tried this on a bed of Senecio and it seems to have worked. No apparent damage to the plants. Not sure if I would do that on valuable plants though!
